Due to the medical advancements in the hair restoration field, people are becoming more conscious about finding the best pathways in terms of cost as well as quality. To eliminate the hair loss/baldness problem efficiently, the most precise, productive & uncomplicated hair transplant technique is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). It is a reliable & cost-effective method which is widely used to grow natural follicles on an individual’s scalp.

What is the Procedure involved in FUE Hair Transplantation?

The procedure of FUE hair transplant method is divided into two significant steps:

Extraction of Grafts

Implantation of Grafts

The Process of Extraction

• Initially, the hair transplant surgeons mark the donor & recipient (bald) sites to extract & transplant the follicular units in a precise manner.
• After applying local anesthesia, the follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area, i.e. back of the head. In case of insufficient amount of hairs on the scalp, the doctors make use of hair from other body parts like beard/moustache, chest, arms, legs, etc.
• The surgeons extract these individual follicles with the help of specialized medical instrument known as micro punch tool, having a diameter of 0.6 – 0.9 mm.
• The small holes take place during the extraction process, which gets healed over the next few days. The removal of individual hair grafts depends on the number of follicular units to be transplanted.

Advantages of FUE

• With FUE restoration, you can get natural growth & natural appearance of transplanted hair on your scalp.
• Being a stitch-less & scar-less method, FUE leaves no visible marks on the head after the surgery.
• FUE technique can also make use of hair follicles from other body parts in case of poor donor area on the scalp. It is not possible with FUT method.
• It is a minimally invasive procedure; thus you can recover fast and continue your routine activities in very less time, i.e. after 2-4 days only.

Disadvantages of FUE

There is as such no disadvantage of FUE hair transplant method. Some patients may experience temporary numbness/swelling, which may last for 5-10 days. The patients need not worry because it is temporary & natural.
